Art Pepper Meets The Miles Davis Rhythm Section 1

[butski]

It is interesting that Art Pepper seems to have been so completely wasted prior to recording this session. There is some great music to be heard here.

Laurie, I hope you're reading this. I've read Straight Life 8 times. I've never read any other book more than once, but that book was INTENSE and DEEPLY MOVING. I have one question regarding the book: Who is "Sammy Curtis"? What's his real name? I'm dying to know. Thanks!

Hey Laurie,

Here, here! Very, very nice! Heard the NPR interview. Actually did not think it would be this good! Keep on, keepin on!

Thank you Laurie,

This is an amazing project. I read "Straight Life" many years ago and it remains my favorite portrait of an artist and I look forward to watching the rest of the segments of your film.

Laurie,

I was driving home and heard about the clips on the radio (KPCC). I think it

s really cool that you're telling Art's story your way and through the recorded interviews, music and hands on viewpoint. I really dug his music and there is such an incredible body of grooves to check out that will keep us jazz yo-yo's discovering and rediscovering Art Pepper for generations to come. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to following all of the clips as you make them available.

Just heard about this project on NPR. Best of luck with the film! It looks great.
